Moscow, Russia -

Russia has decided and a dream came true for Peter Nalitch and his music group! They have convinced the whole Russian nation and a professional jury of their exciting entry. The viewers of the three-hour thrilling live show from Moscow just can't get that original ballade Lost And Forgotten out of their heads. Peter Nalitch will represent Russia at the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest.

Tonight, the Russian national final has been shown by the local broadcaster RTR. Alexander Rybak, the winner of the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest, started the musical show in Moscow with his winning entry, Fairytale. Afterwards all 25 participants of tonight's event were announced. The public could start casting their votes after the first entry has been performed, and the voting window closed 30 minutes after the last song has been performed. The entries were sung in different languages: Russian, English, Italian, French and Udmurt.

The TV viewers could follow the hard competition between 25 singers. Together with a five-member professional jury, they gave the ticket to the strongest singer. It is the music group of Peter Nalitch with their song Lost And Forgotten!

I love Peter Nalitch very much.He is so fresh and natural among all these bright glamorous boys and girls.I hope there're people in Europe who can approciate voice and talent,not naked bodies or special effects.Do you know that his first song Gitar has been watched by 3,5 million people?Do you know that he is one of those rare singers,ho achieved everything by himself,withoutt any help,producers,money and connections?His voice is perfect,he is very charming and he is a real fresh air among false shining.

Peter is very beautiful and unusual voice.
For Bilan Russia was ashamed, though he won.
And Nalich, if not win him at least not be ashamed

As I remember gobbler Dastin from Ireland in 2008 had too every prospect in bookmaker offices. And what was result? He didn't hit the final.
You can have any opinion about Peter Nalitch, but he is really musician and I like his music. And your "wishes" only talk about your bad manners (unfortunately).

I don't even want to comment on THIS ///
Total disater for Russia this yeat at the Eurovision scene amid internal producers' fight for the Russian music market - with this ugly badly sung old-fascioned waltz -
dont't trust russians voted to that!!
With the hailf-jury votes - few send their money and sms as they know - it's the jury (some certainly behind the winner) - who will decide it all
The song is rubbish- few need it here
I do hope Russia well deservedly flops heavily this year -

I didn't like Dima in 2008, I adored Anna in 2009 and I dislike Peter this year. A song I don't want to listen to twice. Sorry and good luck.

I think it's very sad when people can't talk about music and musicians without getting insulting. It is okay if someone doesn't like peter nalich and his music, but why does someone has the right to speak for all russians and say that it wasn't their dicision to vote for him and that he won. And wherefore the excuse? I can't understand this logic and it's really ambarrassing. I'm not a defender of peter nalitch, I want only a fair discussion without insulting people.
In my eyes peter nalitch is a very good singer, he sings witch emotion and the music is pure without any falseness like in the years before. The eurovision song contest hasn't established the duty of ambarassing appearance of half-nacked-singers-with-worn-out-songs. So why all the abrasive comments? Let us discuss peaceful...that's the idea of the eurovision song contest.
